After a brief relief from honey this has saved me: Stopitt Medicated Anti-Dandruff Hair & Scalp Treatment 4 oz . Apparently some people can apply that to their roots only and not look like they dipped their hair in a bowl of oil. They're probably smarter than I am. I've been doing as an Amazon commenter mentioned with great success: wet hair in shower, apply liberally, do the rest of my business, rinse off. After 4 days of that my dandruff that has been plaguing me for years was gone. 2 weeks later it started coming back a bit, i did that again 3 days, then it was gone again. I have been dandruff free for close to 2 months now.
